It was my dad's birthday yesterday. Since I started this ever time-consuming and money-draining little hobby of mine called baking, it's become a sort of tradition for me to bake a cake for my parents on their birthdays. For me, it's a great excuse to try new recipes or experiment with flavor combinations and go crazy with cake decorations. (As you can probably tell here by the wobbly and slightly lopsided cake banner I attempted to create.)
